Lieder ohne Worte (Mendelssohn, Felix)

This page is only for complete editions and multiple selections from the collection here. For arrangements, new editions, etc. see (or create) separate pages for individual works linked in the General Information section below.

This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. The 8 books complete in this edition were advertised in the January 1, 1870 Musical Times, p.349. (Might have been an ad for them in the 1868 M T, p 729- I will have to check this volume in print at university, since it has not been digitized as a free source, only by JStor.)

grayscaleIncludes 32 pieces fron the original 42. Like the Hermann arrangements, excludes Op.102. However includes Op.85.While Hermann's arrangements are fairly easy, David's are more violinistic. He omits one or two pieces in each set, and transposes them often. For example, in Op.30 one piece of the six is omitted, four transposed and one in its original key.
